Colored Guy

New last night, 4 hours in the chair.... session #1. Done by Gina at Studio 69 Tattoo, Ronkonkoma, NY.
 

Posted in the new tattoo section, but will hang it here as well. She changed up the peony design for the better from the OG artwork.

Shrunken Head by Dillon Eaves at Charnel House Tattoo in Toluca Lake, CA done this morning  

Having a Henning-design tiger started on my thigh on Nov 30th. Should take 3 or 4 sessions. Will post the outline and shading hopefully over the weekend.

I'll give a flat $50 many times, more if it comes out to less than I thought it would. But the $50 x 4 or 5 sittings for a single tattoo adds up.

You should have an idea of the cost up front, how many sessions, rate, etc. I have saved up for many tattoos $10 and $20 here and there. I even junked an old car to pay for one in 2008.

This year at Redemption in Boston - Mike Shea. Right on the hip
 

Nah waiting on original poster. 
I'm trying to con the hairy husband into tattooing his beer belly though.
Closest thing I have to a belly tattoo is the one under my boobs. (Which I'm trying to add a pic of but it's not letting me)
 
 

Every picture tells a story. Lost the dog in a nasty divorce.

Minor shitty thing... broke my 4-speed about 6 weeks back. I was attempting a 2-3 shift at 4000 RPMs and it came out of 3rd gear hard. I limped home with a noisy transmission using 4th gear. Found a local guy to fix it up for only $400 which included a new cluster gear and some better used parts.

My retirement project "the Hunley" runs! Not finished yet, but getting so close!

right ! and when your wife tells you she is not so fond of hand and neck tattoos and you STILL get them !

Healing is worse than the tattoo on the hand. I dry healed my hands as I now do for all my tattoos. It was the scariest and most painful healing experience in my 15 years getting tattoo.  But I received them from one of the best cats around, so even though it looked like my hand was a candidate for an amputation, by the end of a grueling 6 week period it looked immaculate and no ink was lost. I had faith the entire time in what my tattooist had made for me.
This is precisely why one should wait and explore tattooing on other parts of the body that are easier to heal and gain a better understanding of what tattooing is.

Horitomo. Two sessions, all electric (rotary and coil).  Photos do not do this justice! I will say that first four hours of outlining and shading was super hateful. Of course, I am already considering having him do my left shin. What is wrong with me? 😜

Finished and was a tough 2.5 hours...
 

This is from a couple of weeks ago, Studio 69 Tattoo, Ronkonkoma, NY.
 

Last night, about 3.5 hours to complete this one. Cover up of an old demon head from 1979 and other work I didn't like done in 2008.
 

I was going to have my back worked on last night, but it was still tender from the shading of last week.
She knew I wanted an old demon head covered up on my bicep, so we went with that. Took like 3 hours with all the BSing back and forth, cutting a stencil from something already drawn up.
 

My sister gets a henna tattoo every summer, but it looks more bluish than black. I tell her that all the $$$ she's blown on those she could have gotten a couple of nice real ones. Then I get the blank stare...
